About Catherine

I love the feeling of helping someone who is unable to do things for themselves. I enjoy being a CNA because I get to help people in need and form a close bond with them. At the end of the day I know I was able to help someone with something we feel is such a simple task everyday that they can no longer do on their own. I have moved to Texas from my home state Iowa to better my life and my sons life and I think that is a great achievement. I love working with people, I am a fast learner and a hard worker!

    My career as a caregiver began with taking care of both my parents. My father had cancer and my mother had dementia. I was working as well while taking care of my parents. After they passed away and in 2012 my job where I was working was outsourced, I decided I wanted to make a career of being a caregiver. I went to CTK Healthcare and Career Institute to obtain my CNA certification. Since 2013 to current I have worked privately and with agencies as a caregiver. My skills and duties are to perform light housekeeping, light meal preparations, assist with shower and dressing, medication reminders, assist with shopping for groceries and putting them away, assist with pet care, and companionship. I enjoy interacting with my clients and helping them have a safe, healthy , and clean environment to live in. I understand the challenges of caretaking as well as the stress of a loved one's health changes and needs changing from taking care of my parents. I find great joy in life being there for others and help make there day less stressful.
